Choir of Flesh - Out now!

I'm super excited to finally release Choir of Flesh! It has a lot of original ideas and I'm really happy with how it turned out, so I hope you guys check it out! As usual, you can grab a copy on Amazon, DTRPG, and itch.io!

Choir of Flesh is a solo/co-op/GM-led tabletop roleplaying game of cosmic horror, bodily corruption, and desperate faith set against a medieval apocalypse. The Rapture has arrived, but it is not the salvation the devout prayed for. Now, what’s left of humanity is caught between two warring apocalypses, struggling to survive just one more day.

Key Features

• A World of Historical Horror: Explore the Kingdom of the Franks in the year 1,000 AD, a meticulously detailed setting where real-world history and religious horror collide. Face a medieval apocalypse that has turned devotion into a death sentence and the earth itself hungers.

• Settlement management & Free-Form Character Progression: You are not alone in the apocalypse. For those wanting to, Choir of Flesh offers a settlement management system, where you build up your town to better face the end of the world. This is a symbiotic relationship, allowing you to become more powerful and learn new skills and feats, while you protect those that have gathered around you.

• Dynamic Exploration: Journey across a blighted Europe using a point-crawl system, gathering rumors to uncover high-risk, high-reward locations that you will then raid. These Incursions are randomly generated locations that draw from a pool of one hundred Points of Interest, combining them and creating a unique layout for you to explore every time you initiate a raid.

• Brutal, Player-Facing Combat: The streamlined D20 ruleset uses a player-facing roll system, with a quick and brutal grid-based tactical combat where injuries have lasting, painful consequences determined by detailed injury tables.

• Built for Solo & GM-less Play: As is the norm with all Blackoath releases, Choir of Flesh is designed to be played solo or cooperatively without a Game Master. The book includes a full suite of solo narrative tools, oracles, and random tables to generate hooks, twists, NPCs, and unexpected events, allowing you to create a compelling story on your own.

• Easy for Game Masters: For those wanting to play the game as a Game Master, there’s a section dedicated to running the game, with tools to generate Undertakings on the fly and plenty of advice about creating a dark story where hope is the only thing that keeps the players alive.
